About me
Hello and welcome to my page! Im so glad you have landed here, and well done for taking the first step towards making meaningful change in your life. It can be really hard to name when things feel difficult, and even harder to reach out to talk to someone about this. Even just clicking on this website and beginning to explore people pages shows a recognition of a different way you would like to live, and I would love to support you on that journey.
My name is Dr Katie Overbury. I am a Somatically led Clinical Psychologist that works with a wide range of mental health challenges from children to older adulthood. My therapy combines a mixture of talking, somatic (body based) practices, nervous system regulation and movement. I provide my clients with a safe and restorative space to explore the current challenges they are facing in life, supporting meaningful recognition and change in both body and mind.
There are many different lenses and approaches that can be taken during therapy. I believe its important that the therapeutic path taken is appropriate for each individual and their current challenges at the point of meeting me in therapy, and remains flexible throughout the time we work together. As a Clinical Psychologist I am trained to work with great variation in peoples life challenges and their surrounding contexts, and my work is informed by a variety of evidence based models to meet these needs. I am able to provide a range of therapeutic modalities dependant upon the individual need at any given time. My work is informed by Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Internal Family Systems parts work (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Analytical Therapy (CAT), Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am also trained as an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) therapist.
Within all my work as a Psychologist, somatic practices with both breath and body are used to connect the mind and bodies story. An understanding of the nervous system is also threaded throughout to build a foundational understanding of how our lives and the environments we live in are deeply affecting our bodies functioning and how we feel able to engage in the world around us in response to this.
